Default Canadian delivered Corvette

Hi, I'm considering purchasing a used 2015. I was told it was a 'Canadian car'. Would there be any differences between this car and one manufactured to be delivered in the US?

Speedometer goes to 300 and some of the guages have different pictures on them but the car is the same.

That is just silly EH. Sorry if I have offended you.

On my 03 I can switch back and forth between imperial and metric measurements with the push of a button. Would have to imagine that the same holds true with the C7.

Good luck with the purchase.

It's a menu item but yes you can change the digital readouts from kph to mph. The analog speedo would go to 335 or thereabouts.

Analog speedometer reads from o to 330 . From the DIC settings menu when you have "metric" selected the analog speedometer face speed icon show KM/h and the analog speedometer needle points to your speed in KM/h. Also digital readouts for speed, temps, pressures , HUD speed is all metric.

When you go into the DIC settings menu and select "ENGLISH" the analog speedometer speed icon reads "MPH" an the speedometer needle points to your speed in MPH. All digital readouts are now english.

The only other thing you will notice is the analog engine coolant gauge just has temperature graduation markings without a numeric temp scale and the face of the gas gauge does not have the 1/2 ( half number) but does have all the same graduations as the english gauge.

When you drive with the settings in" English" you will not really notice any difference other than the face of the analog speedometer being graduated from 0 to 330.

......Except that of course the Canadian car is a bit faster, especially if it is white with Chrome wheels.

Enjoy your new ride, eh !

Wish I had known about the extra speed derived from the chrome wheels when I ordered my GS. I might have saved a few minutes on my trip down to AZ from Calgary last fall. I do think I made the time up by having the lighter Competition seats though.
